How To Make The Best Of Low Fat Dessert
No dessert after dinner? You've got to be kidding, right?. If you are here in America, you know that dessert is a must-have after meals but they are bad for you - loaded with salt, sugar and or fat. We have become a nation of junk food addicts.

When people experience wealth, their diets change. When people have enough money, they have a choice of what they will eat, they will choose to go along with the more fatty foods. Maybe this is because we tend to store fat to keep us warm for the winter?
If there is a bunch of food to choose from, then we will tend to go for the fatty foods. Why? Like most animals, we prepare for the winter time. We know that it will be cold so we want a layer of fat to keep us warm.

Another reason is that we are greedy. All people are greedy. We want the best of everything.
We want a nice new car, new house and all the rich food that we can eat. In the past, a wealthy person ate different foods than someone who is poor.

What to do?
You want that little bit of joy at the end of the meal, but you don't want to become a fat addict. Well, you can have your cake and eat it too. We will discuss some of the more healthy desserts that you can eat. First, don't get fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn't worth the time. You will eat twice as much of it to fill your cravings. It is because it is missing something, the fat. The one thing that you are craving the most. In the end you aren't really doing yourself any favors. You are falling in the trap that all fat people fall into. They think since it is low fat, they can eat twice as much of it. That maybe true, but only if you don't want to loose weight.

Fresh fruit is always a good dessert. You can prepare it easily and it tastes great.
Nothing tastes better than fresh fruit that is in season. Make sure that it is perfectly ripe and ready to eat. If you eat fruit that isn't ripe it will be hard and not have all the flavor that it can yield. You don't have to stick with the ho hum fruit salad. You can choose a ton of different ways to eat fresh fruit. You can bake apples for example wrapped in tin foil with a little bit of brown sugar. This is wonderful.

Orange with banana is a great combo. The sweet flavor of the orange juice is really different compared to the banana. It is also a great pick me up if you are feeling sluggish. We have all seen those wand mixers advertised on television. Some people call these boat motors. It is a hand held mixer/blender that you can use for a lot of things. I love these things. If you have one of these, it is easy to make a great low fat dessert.

Here is a simple dessert using your boat motor. Take skim milk. You need to make sure that it is ice cold for this. Take your milk and put it in a drinking glass. Use your boat motor to whip air into it. You will notice after awhile it kind of looks like whipped cream. Add some bananas and strawberries and a little pinch of sugar to make it sweet. This is very low fat and it tastes great.

You get that desire for fat taken care of that you have been craving so much. The whipped milk really almost feels like whipped cream. You won't believe how much it feels like the real thing.

You can also use this to add some creativity to all kinds of things. You can use it to make your low fat milkshakes. You can add your protein mix to this for a great meal with very little fat. People may think that you are crazy when you are eating a big serving of whipped cream but before you know it, all your buddies at the gym will want you to make them something to eat with your boat motor.

You can also eat gelatin. Make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It will come in either envelopes or in sheets. There will be directions on the package to tell you how to make it. You can add fruit juice or you can add fresh fruit to your gelatin. If you have a boat motor, you can use it and add some of that whipped topping you make from the skim milk. You will love this.

You can also eat some low fat cakes. Yes, low fat cakes are good. Don't think that just because it is cake, it is bad for you. Just make sure that there isn't a whole lot of eggs or dairy involved. Also sometimes people sneak in mayo in their cake batters. Make sure you know what is on the cake. Also jam or jelly is great instead of frosting.

You can also come up with your own ideas as well. Just think of what you already like to eat and put a spin on it.
Please, stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you crave more of that than you should be eating. In the long run, you aren't saving any calories.
